Founded in 2017, Allow Us To Grow was established in response to the lack of programs specifically designed for female athletes in a city impacted by violence and poverty. Our organization is committed to empowering disadvantaged youth, particularly young women, by providing safe, supportive spaces for growth through sports, mentorship, and personal development.​ 

 

At its core, Allow Us To Grow fosters a family-like environment where young people are fueled by care, encouragement, and a sense of belonging. We believe that when youth feel genuinely seen, loved, and supported, they are better equipped to grow and succeed. 

 

In recent years, Allow Us To Grow has expanded its reach through the launch of both summer and after-school programs. These initiatives provide young men and women with the tools and guidance to strengthen their mental health, build strong character, and develop the confidence needed to overcome life’s challenges and create a brighter future.
